Lovin' Whiskey

Well if you live in dusty twilight baby, that's OK

'Cause there are women at the bar to greet you everyday

And you can take them back to lie with you and visit Jamie's room

But they can never take the pain away

Or brighten all the gloom

And if your hands are cleansed with sorrow

May it help you ease your pain

Though the windows have a view of city rain, city rain

And if you walk in constant sorrow

And you cry for me

May it hit the painful memories

Maybe then you'll see

That if you drown yourself in liquor

Because it keeps you company

Then just remember who you're losing

And be proud to set me free

Because it don't talk back or disagree

It just makes you see so hazily

But in the morning light your life is scattered with the wind

Scattered with the wind

Well they tell you on the telephone to let him go

I said they tell you he's a sinking ship

And he's trying to pull you down

Don't you know

That every time you call me up and say you want me back

You know you break my heart

You said you want me to come back home and try again

You want me to make a brand new start

But if wisdom says to let him go

Then it's hell, because you just don't know

Until you've tried to love a man who's loving whiskey, loving whiskey

My baby left me for the bottle

And the lure of the nightlife

Good times and crazy women

And another glass of Tanqueray

But if wisdom says to let him go

Then it's hell, because you just don't know

Until you've tried to love a man who's loving whiskey, loving whiskey
